LimeSurvey Community Edition 7.0.5 contains an authenticated SQL injection vulnerability in the Central Participant Database (CPDB) workflow that copies survey participant tokens to the central participant list.
CVE-2026-18403
This medium-severity CVE scores 6.0 under a secondary CVSS source (NVD's own analysis pending). EPSS exploit probability: 0.3%, top 79% of all CVEs by exploit prediction. GitHub Security Advisory data not yet ingested — confidence will rise once GHSA publishes (typical lag: hours to days for open-source ecosystem CVEs; never for infrastructure-only CVEs).
- Lower severity and no public exploit yet
No vendor fix yet — apply a workaround or compensating control (WAF / firewall / segmentation) and watch for a patch.
